5.3 Operational settingsMake sure that the tracing and heating temperatures are well above the dew point of the desired vapor flow at the processconditions.

Especially for tracing, the temperature is only controlled at a single location, while inadequate insulation may introducecold-spots at which condensation may occur.

Be aware that both heater and tracing temperature depend on the location of the sensor. Therefore, it is advised to set theheater temperature approximately 20°C above the theoretical temperature.In addition, it is advised to set the tracing temperature another 10°C higher.

5.3.1 Operation exampleApplicationThe VDM can be used for generating certain humidity in a gas stream. Carrier gas and liquid (water) are controlled toregulate the humidity. The water is mixed with the gas and consequently evaporated. The humidity at a certain temperaturecorresponds with a certain ratio of gas and water, this ratio can be set by the flow controllers which are part of the VDM.

Calculation example for setting of relative humidityAt atmospheric pressure, at 80°C, 2 ln/min Air has to be moistened. Which water flow is needed for a r.h. of 50%. The vaporpressure of water at 80°C is 473.3 mbar according to FLUIDAT®.

FLUIDAT® on the Net: Bronkhorst's interactive Flow Calculations and routines generating Physical Properties. Visit www.fluidat.com

Assumptions:· consider water vapor as an ideal gas· 1 mole of ideal gas at normal conditions = 22.4 l· 1 mole of water is 18 g and 1 hour is 60 min.· 1 atm. = 1013.25 mbar.

At 100% r.h., the (Mole)Ratio between gas and water is: The mole ratio:

So in a gas flow of 2 ln/min, the saturated vapor flow (100% r.h.) is:

and in [g/h]:

At 50% r.h., the (Mole)Ratio between gas and water is:

The mole ratio:

So in a gas flow of 2 ln/min, the saturated vapor flow (50% r.h.) is:
